Is that font 'official'? It's so bad.
I’m grapeful you were able to squeeze that one in their, it’s almost pearfect.
Maybe BB needs to change his name to BlueBerry?
Okay, a crude effort... 😀
Creedence Clearwater Revival: Have you ever seen the rain?
Someone told me long ago
This young lad, they call him Rio
I know, he's been coming for some time
When he's ready, so they say
It'll be a glorious day
I know, setting fields on fire
I wanna know, have you ever seen him play?

Coming up, his name is Rio.
Ha. Loads of comments on the net by Japanese LFC fans that went to the game, saying how proud they were of getting to see in person an open goal miss by Darwin.
We're not having that font on the shirts all season are we?
With help from AI:
(To the rhythm of Duran Duran’s "Rio")
🎵 They call him Rio and he dances past his man,
🎵 Ngumoha’s lightning with a finish in his plan!
🎵 He hits the net, the crowd begins to roar,
🎵 Ohhh Rio! He’s gonna score one more!
Or this:
🎵 They call him Rio and he dances past his man,
🎵 Cuts inside and scores—just like only Rio can!
🎵 He plays with fire, he plays with flair,
🎵 Ngumoha’s magic everywhere!
🎵 Rio! Rio! Running down the wing!
🎵 Rio! Rio! Makes the Kop all sing!
🎵 Rio! Rio! Watch him bag a goal!
🎵 Rio Ngumoha—he’s got it all!

From 1:15 onwards... watch Nyoni:

1. attacks the space at the far post when he sees Frimpong getting ready to cross; shows Nunez how to finish
2. lovely give-and-go with Ngumoha, takes out 3 opponents with a sweet return pass on a bad pitch to Ngumoha (Ngumoha shot saved)
3. continues his run beside Ngumoha that pulls away one defender in the lead-up to Ngumoha's goal.

Is it possible to shoot AI?
Probably the sensible approach. No added pressure
We can’t have the wee dick getting complacent.
Not the week before he gets sent on loan to league 1.
We weren’t fragile at the back last season though, and I don’t think we’ll be that this season either.
It’s pre season and the only thing defensively that’s annoying is Konate over committing at times and being poor on the ball.
But that will be ironed out when the serious business starts.

Maybe the faffing around over Konate's contract has sent him off balance a bit? I doubt he ever really wanted to leave.
How many times did we give up the lead or win just narrowly?
That has always been a part of Konate's game. He's always done that once every few matches when the season gets underway, so we shouldn't be surprised with the greater regularity of these mistakes in pre-season. Those over-commits have never been ironed out of his game, so it's just a weakness we have to live and deal with.
We were the second best team in the league defensively while being the best attacking side.
That highline will cost us if we are not careful
You don’t trust Slot to adjust that highline after which opponent we play?
The high line, under Klopp as well, was always a high risk high reward thing. The high press would often help us allow the whole team to remain compact when pressing, giving us lots of counter pressing opportunities + resulting attacking phases. At the same time, the odd time a team successfully puts some quick passes together or lumps the ball behind our last defenders, we'd look really vulnerable.
But the former shaped our team for the last decade and gave us one of the best defensive records in the league for many seasons. It's just that we look really shit on the occasions where we are exposed.
The defence can go deeper but that would mean our counter pressing becomes less effective. Double-edged sword.
